A LEGAL CONFLICT.
A Case in Which State and National Liquor
Laws Are Likely to Come in Collision.

AUGUSTA, Me-, April IA liquor case on
trial in the Superior Court here has developed
conflict between the federal and State courts as
a result of clash between the new LIQUOR law
of the State and the regulations OF the Internal
Revenue Department. One of the provisions of
the new liquor law is that the payment of a re-
tail internal revenue tax by the accused shall
be considered prima facie evidence of violation
of the law and the penalties provided shall be
inflicted without further process In the case on
trial, Reuben G. HALLS was accused of having
violated the law, and Deputy Collector of In
terna Revenue Murphy was called to the stand
to testify to the payment of a retail tax by
the defendant Murphy refused to testify, stat
ing that if he should give such evidence his
action would be likely TO reduce the
amount of collections in his district
besides being contrary to the instructions
of Collector Redman. Judge Whitehouse then
ordered him committed for contempt of court
but suspended the action on the mittimus until
10 o'clock tomorrow morning, the prisoner
meanwhile remaining in the custody of the
sheriff. This was to give Murphy an opportunity
to petition Judge Webb, of the United States
District Court. at Portland, for writ of habeas
corpus. the necessary papers for which were at
once forwarded. This morning Collector Red
man telegraphed Judge Whitehouse that Murphy
was acting in accordance with the instructions
of himself aud the commissioner of internal
revenue, and requesting the prisoners discharge
This request was not granted aud the case was
continued.
The result of the case will have an important
bearing on the matter OF administering the
liquor laws adopted at the recent session of the
Legislature.
